Bulldogdad......The first time I married for love (36 years ago)
the next time I'm gonna marry a good cook. How wonderful it would be to have my man cook for me. The man is a genius engineer but turns into a drooling fool in the kitchen. He couldn't even make a pitcher of iced tea last weekend. How did you learn to coook and do you do most of the family cooking?
i blame my husband's mother and his first wife (of 10 years no less). Shouldn't one of them have taught him to cook a basic meal or casserole? I taught our son how to cook but I don't think he does much more than grill steaks at this point. I tried to teach DH to cook early in our marriage but he has no interest whatsoever and it was so much faster and easier to just "do it myself"
I will add that he cleans up my messes, volunteers to do the grocery shopping and is a good father and provider.
Mom is Italiano and Dad is Latino. Both sides cook like there is no tomorrow. Wifey does just as much of the cooking as I do but my office is at home so I naturally have more contact with the kitchen. I was also lucky that my families exposed me to many other cultures since I was a kid. I bet I had one of the first Vietnamese home made meals in America as my grandfather ran the local County housing authority when the first wave of refugees in the 1970's hit the area. Grandparents and parents also took me to San Francisco quite a bit, after we migrated from Los Angeles, to sample cuisines from around the world especially Asian.
Reads like you got a good man. As a contractor I can appreciate engineers, they truly make the world go round. I'd trade my some of my cooking skills for that of an engineer's skill set, but I'd have my wifey to pick up the slack like you do.
I have been married for close to 40 years. I don't use it often, but often enough. I am only on my 2nd bottle and I have never refrigerated it.
